HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – “This Is Truly a Super Regional Matchup: #7 UCLA 6 – #6 NEBRASKA 5
A late bid fell short for the Huskers and they will clash a final time with UCLA tomorrow for the series victory.
“ We’re treating it like a super regional. This is truly a Super Regional matchup. They’re an amazing team, and they’re gonna be making their adjustments as two for game three.
” – Jordy Frahm post-game When the Huskers went to take their last at-bats in the bottom of the 7th, it appeared the final punch thrown by UCLA in the top of the 6th – a 2-run homer by Jolyna Lamar to dead center and the linchpin of of that 3-run inning – had provided enough breathing room to push UCLA past Nebraska and even the Big 10 Top-10 series at one apiece. It had. But not before causing UCLA and their faith some serious unease.
And possible nausea. That 6th inning had left UCLA holding a 6-3 lead when the Huskers stepped in to take their final at-bats. Lauren Camenzind, hitting at the bottom of the order, lifted one out to left field and the southern winds did the rest.
6-4. Up came Frahm. She sky-highed a 2-1 pitch to an area a little to the right of Camenzind’s.
